Well, Christmas this year wasn’t as we had planned or expected. My husband got sick (we suspect food poisoning) so, many of our plans/traditions changed. Here are some photographic highlights from the past few days….

| Looking at Christmas lights while sipping hot drinks and eating candy canes. |
 |
| Visiting Grandma at her extended care facility and singing Christmas carols with her. She has Alzheimer’s and Dementia but she remembered the words to every carol. |
 |
| Candlelight church service on Christmas Eve. |
 |
| Matching pajamas! |
 |
| Watching It’s A Wonderful Life (our favourite Christmas movie). |

 |
| A tutu! |
 |
| My daughter opened her toy food set and said, “Let me read the instructions; Blah, blah, blah, blah blah.” |
 |
| A big mess. |
 |
| A special toy from Nana & Papa. |
 |
| Passed out. |
It was a quiet Christmas. A little sad too. I cried my eyes out as I drove to my parent’s house on Christmas day. I felt so sorry for my poor husband who spent most of his Christmas day alone.
How was your Christmas? I would love to hear how you spent your holidays!
